Kempe Gets Value

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A big pot of 205,000 chips was in the middle in a pot between Rainer Kempe in the small blind and his opponent in the big blind.

On a completed board of J83QJ, Kempe used a couple of time extensions before sliding in a bet of 70,000,

His opponent mulled things over for a bit but decided to call before his shot clock ran out.

Kempe turned over AJ for rivered trips and raked in the pot when his opponent's cards hit the muck.
